What is TSB? Never heard of it, much less been there.
Just as predicted; didn't expect anything in the way of reasoned discussion or articulated thought, but thanks for going to such great lengths there MCalibur so as to leave no doubt.
I won't be back, at least not anytime soon, so enjoy your smug "victories" over whatever it is in your perception of this situation that assures you of the veracity of what you have concluded. You consider me to be in denial; I know you to be ill-informed.
As a parting shot, I will clearly state that this is far from over. Whether through reduction of sanctions via the NCAA appeals process or via the courts, the FINAL outcome on this is far from determined. Perhaps once this is FINALIZED, I'll stop by to check on the latest round of pissy comments.
Oh, and one last item: good luck with that Rich Rod thing and the NCAA. With MCalibur's sanctimonious assertions about the NCAA being wholly justified with the sanctions levied against USC, heaven help the school that actually has the audacity to substantively violate NCAA regulations.
Since that reading thing doesn't appear to be working too well for you, let's try dumbing things down in hopes of finding some basis for understanding.
The allegation of Mr.Woodson was USC cheats; I simply asked him to support his assertion with facts, which as of now, remains unanswered. I'll gladly wait to see if he has the character and integrity to either support his allegations or acknowledge his error.
Since reading doesn't seem to be a strong suit of yours, no where did I say or even infer that USC was wholly innocent and didn't deserve some measure of punishment from the NCAA. The basketball situation to accept O J Mayo and then allow Rodney Guillory access to the USC hoops program is one of the all-time dumbest decisions any coach/athletic department ever made.
And, I'm certainly going to call you to task for concluding the USC athletic department is "rife with corruption." If you'll momentarily dispense with bias, ignorance and preconception and try that thinking thing, don't you believe that after four years of investigation, the NCAA would have prominently incorporated corruption, cheating and any other substantive findings of guit in their report? Instead, the NCAA strung together a piecemeal investigation involving basketball (which USC had self sanctioned and the NCAA accepted), one instance of an international tennis player making unauthorized calls home, and a highly circumstantial case reliant on the words of a convicted felon as the primary basis for penalizing the football program.
Should USC have been more vigilant with compliance? No argument here. Is Reggie Bush a selfish scumbag? Again, no argument here. But the expectation of USC knowing of events going on in a city 120 miles away, with such events cloaked in secrecy with willful intent to deceive is a standard that seems exceedingly hard to meet.
I'm not a Michigan fan and it is exceedingly obvious that you and others here loathe USC, and I can assure you that should I have been soliciting sympathy, it certainly wouldn't be here. I've merely challenged assertions made here to be substantiated using facts, reason, and thought; thus far no evidence whatsoever.
And one other thing: you and myriad others convinced of USC's "cheating" and "corruption" are going to be really po'ed when sanctions against the football program are reduced. While I'm not in a position to provide assurances or full disclosure, there is much more to come and the outcome far from final.
Would welcome - but certainly not expecting - a thoughtful response. Any dimwit can make outlandish, unsupported allegations; takes no thought and very little effort to do that. Just curious to see if anyone here can cogently back up what they say.
Sorry to intrude upon your Haterade induced stupor, but you have a big problem here: NO FACTS.
Since you have no respect for USC because they cheat, how about providing a little proof? I've read the entire 67 page NCAA report, and other than an allegation of improperly hiring a special teams consultant, the USC football program was not found guilty of cheating.
Did Reggie Bush cheat? By all indications, yes - but Reggie Bush is not USC. How do the illicit actions of one player translate into a program that cheats? Guess if jealousy, delusion and ignorance are what one relies upon to draw conclusions, one reaches such an ill-informed result.
Think after four years of investigation that if the NCAA had found rampant cheating, it would have been documented in their report? Sorry, but it's just not there. Assuming you're not phonetically challenged, give it a read then post all the instances of the USC football program cheating. Could USC have done many things better in the oversight of the athletic programs? Certainly looks that way - but that's still not cheating.
Absolutely understandable for Michigan fans to have animosity toward USC; the on-field history between these two schools certainly justifies that. But if you're gonna call out USC for cheating, might want provide facts; pretty hard to respect someone who can't back up what he says.
Oh, and to the OP: per a highly credible source personally known to me and very well connected to the USC football program, Rojo is not going anywhere.
